DNV GL Fuel Fighter

The second most fuel efficient car in the world

DNV GL Fuel Fighter drove in to a second place during the 2018 Shell Eco-marathon in Europe. The results from the competition was enough to beat all the other cars in Shell Eco-marathon Asia and America, which led us to become the second most fuel efficient car in the world in the UrbanConcept Battery-electric class.

From NTNU to Oslo with 0.3 L gasoline

Yes, you read right. If the car drove on gasoline instead of electric batteries, it would need 0.3 L of gasoline to drive from NTNU in Trondheim, and all the way down to Oslo. The overall distance is 500 km. This all melts down to an energy efficiency of 176 km/kWh.

Social, fun and educational

DNV GL Fuel Fighter is not only about trying to make the best and most fuel efficient car. We are so much more than just that. DNV GL Fuel Fighter is a group of 40 students who are celebrating Halloween together, racing in Go Karts, shooting at each other with Lazer Tag and much, much more. The team is more like a group of friends.
